My assistant was looking for '''something to involve first graders''' when they visited the library this fall. She read a couple of favorite books about the library, using the first few verses and the refrain of the '''Library Rap''' between. She read the verses and the children joined in on the refrain. Selected boys and girls held up mini-posters with the letters spelled out on each, i.e. "L", "I", "B", "R", "A-R-Y", at the appropriate time. It was great fun for them -- they caught on quickly!

Selected boys and girls held up mini-posters that we made with the letters spelled out on each, i.e. "L", "I", "B", "R", "A-R-Y", at the appropriate time. It was great fun for them -- they caught on quickly! We've decided that this will be an annual activity, so we've laminated the mini-posters.

Post your creative uses of the Library Rap!

Activity Engaging Students During Class Visits (OH)

My assistant was looking for something to involve first graders when they visited the library this fall. She read a couple of favorite books about the library, using the first few verses and the refrain of the Library Rap between.
She read the verses and the children joined in on the refrain. Selected boys and girls held up mini-posters that we made with the letters spelled out on each, i.e. "L", "I", "B", "R", "A-R-Y", at the appropriate time. It was great fun for them -- they caught on quickly! We've decided that this will be an annual activity, so we've laminated the mini-posters.
